they are both stunning beauties. they appear to be at that "who's that boy?" age. gotta chase those little sniffers away! i have 3 girls. beautiful girls. i went thru that. i used to tell their boy-freinds that "i have a stun-gun, and im not afraid to use it, go home"!!! heh heh. they would get so mad at me. lol. hey, thats our job, right? my two oldest (20, & 24) are both married now, and each has a gorgeous baby. the babies are soooo much better looking than their hubbies. my youngest, shes 12. shes not allowed to date 'till she's 22. shes mad at me too. ahahaha (oh well!) really, you did good, margana. these girls are beautiful. way to go.

a touching shot and sentiment, very heartful. Your daughters have much beauty and radiance, and yet you didn't shoot it to broadcast that, but to capture a natural and mysterious presence in each. Nice that you had them with slightly different pinks (still in the same family) and similar if not the same lipstick. Makes a harmony between two different souls. And nice merging of their hair too. They both have the same color eyes too, which the shot really brings out. (Similar skin tone too...) I assume there is choice in capturing all this, either conscious or intuitive. It's a thoughtful capture and a heartful portrait of two people you obviously adore. Beautiful work, Marlene. (btw, sneaking around in people's back-galleries is like sneaking around a boiler room at 4 a.m. I keep expecting someone to come in and say, "what the hell are you doing here!" I don't have a pass, so just say I'm an old friend.) (You could leave out a few snacks, ya know, not that I'm picky...)
